under the filth

The fireworks faded, and the noisy crowd gradually dispersed. They took the last tram across the two cities, and Tang Cen and Eisen rushed back to their hotel in Tokyo late at night.

Tang Cen was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open. After a simple wash, he threw himself into the soft bed.After wandering around Kamakura for a day and taking a long train ride, Tang Cen fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow. When Eisen came back from washing, he was curled up under the blanket with only one hand exposed. .

Being close to the seaside, summer nights in Tokyo are very cool, and unlike Kamakura, where the salty smell of sea water is not easy to smell, Eisen opened the window facing the yard after he came back.Covered with a thin quilt, the cool breeze blows, and you don't need to turn on the air conditioner, so you can sleep peacefully at night.

After sleeping until noon the next day, after Tang Cen woke up, he slumped on the bed and stretched lazily for a while, then he was in a daze for a while, and Eisen dragged him out for dinner when he was fully awake.

Eisen only planned to take Tang Cen to see the Fireworks Conference this time, and did not plan any other itinerary, so the two of them have been wandering around the streets of Tokyo after watching the Fireworks Conference.After spending the last two days, buying some strange gadgets and a suitcase full of snacks, the two boarded the flight back to Paris.

Flying back to Paris, Tang Cen and Eisen hurried to pick up Opera after throwing their luggage at the entrance.

On the second day after sending Opera Chow to the pet hospital, the pet hospital helped Tang Cen and the others contact a couple who had been providing foster services. After obtaining Eisen's consent, Opera Chow was sent to the couple's home .

Tang Cen was a little worried about leaving Opera Cen in a strange family for too long, but fortunately, the foster family was not far from where Tang Cen and the others lived. After dropping off the luggage, Tang Cen dragged Eisen and trotted over there .

Standing at the door, Tang Cen panted to adjust his breathing, and pressed the doorbell.After the doorbell rang for a while, Tang Cen and Eisen heard footsteps and a soft cat meowing from behind the door.Accompanied by bursts of "meow meow", footsteps slowly approached the door, and finally stopped behind the door.

With a sound of "click", the door was opened, and a small furry brown head squeezed out from the crack of the door.Opera Craig got stuck in the crack of the door, raised her head and called out to the two people standing at the door.

The two couldn't help being stunned when they saw the little head caught in the crack of the door. Opera Chow's long hair was rubbed in a mess when he squeezed the crack of the door, and they couldn't recognize whose cat it was for a moment.

Seeing that the two didn't respond, Opera Chow groaned again.Hearing the sound of the little milk with its long tail, Tang Cen quickly squatted down, rubbed Opera Chow's messy little head, and smoothed out the hair on his body: "Did you miss me?"

The hostess standing behind the door opened the door completely, and Opera Craig's body stuck behind the door was completely exposed.It grabbed Tang Cen's knees, rubbed its head back and forth on Tang Cen's body, and made an indistinct purr in its throat, which attracted another black and white cow cat.

The cow cat was a little shy. It leaned against the hostess' legs, carefully stretched its neck, and sniffed the smell outside the door.Opera Chow saw the cow cat, and trotted to the cow cat.

The two cats rubbed their noses together and exchanged affectionately for a while before Opera Cen turned around and called out to Tang Cen.

"Have you made new friends?" Opera Cen replied again, and Tang Cen reached out and put his hand under the cow cat's nose.Tang Cen smelled of Opera Cen, the cow cat just hesitated for a moment, then slowly leaned over, rubbing his forehead on the back of his hand gently.

From when Opera Chow jumped out to when the cow cat ran over to join in the fun, Eisen and the lady watched Tang Cen and the two cats quietly without disturbing them.When the cow cat started rubbing its tail against Tang Cen's hand, the hostess shook her head with a smile, turned around and went into the house to take Opera Cen's cat bag out.

Eisen took the cat bag from the hostess, and when Tang Cen stood up, the two of them thanked the hostess: "I have troubled you for a while."

The hostess just smiled and waved her hands, telling them not to be so polite: "It's okay, Opera Chow is very beautiful and sensible, I like it very much, and Mr. William also likes it very much."

The three chatted briefly about Opera Cura, and they parted ways when it was getting dark.

Opera Cen lay on Tang Cen's shoulders, stretched her neck and looked at the cow cat squatting by the door. When she reached the corner of the stairs where she could not see the other party at all, Opera Cen suddenly plunged her head into Tang Cen's eyes. in the crook of his arms.

Tang Cen noticed the movement in his arms, lowered his head and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Opera Chow buried her head in his arms, and let out a grievous whimper, as if answering Tang Cen's question.

"I'll bring you to play with it next time I have a chance." Tang Cen smiled, and patted Opera Cub on the back like coaxing a child. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

After receiving Opera Chow, the two of them finished their dinner outside before going back to the apartment to continue packing their luggage.

Tang Cen looked at the two suitcases standing in the entrance and felt a headache.A box of snacks and a box of clothes, no matter which one is packed, it is very troublesome, and there is a clingy little follower, Opera Chow, who keeps making trouble.

We haven't seen each other for more than half a month. After returning home, Opera Cen has been following Tang Cen closely. When he was packing his luggage, he followed him all the way from the living room to the bedroom, and then from the bedroom to the balcony. Tang Cen was almost caught by it several times. stumble.Later, perhaps because she was tired, Opera Clay simply lay down in the suitcase.

Opera Cunningham's long fur was usually quite time-consuming to take care of. Not only did he rub Tang Cen on the way back, but even the suitcase was covered with dark brown long fur.

Long hairs were flying all over the suitcase, so Tang Cen could only spread out the clothes, glue them one by one with a roller, and then fold them up and put them away.When Eisen finished packing the box of snacks and went back to the bedroom, Tang Cen had only finished packing half of the box.

Eisen looked at Tang Cen's frowning face, then at Opera Cen who was rolling in the box, and quickly bent down to hug him: "Is Opera Cen making trouble again?"

"Yes..." Tang Cen replied weakly.After nearly thirteen hours of flying, he was already so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open, but Opera Chow continued to toss and toss as if he had endless energy.

Eisen put Opera on the side and took the roller in Tang Cen's hand: "Go to sleep, I'll clean it up."

Tang Cen shook his head, and Eisen also ran around outside all day, he didn't want to always leave the mess to him to clean up.Seeing that he was still holding on, Eisen pointed to Opera Chow who jumped into the suitcase again: "Once you sleep, it must be quiet."

After Eisen said that, Tang Cen didn't dare to hold on any longer, and honestly washed up and went to bed.Seeing that Tang Cen was lying down, Opera Cen stepped on Eisen's pillow with her calves, and found a comfortable position beside Tang Cen to lie down, which happened to be the depression between the two pillows.

Eisen, who had witnessed the whole process, rubbed his eyebrows and sighed, smoothed out a series of sunken footprints on the pillow and continued to pack his luggage.

It was only after ten o'clock when Eisen finished his work, but both Tang Cen and Opera Cunningham slept soundly.Eisen, who had also been on the go all day, didn't want to wake them up, so he closed the suitcase lightly, and slowly lay down beside Tang Cen.

Being used to going to bed early and waking up late, Tang Cen almost didn't have the problem of jet lag, but at nine o'clock the next morning, he was woken up by the sound of Eisen getting up.

Eisen, who was arranging his clothes in front of the mirror, saw Tang Cen squinting behind him and poking his head out of the bed from the mirror: "Did it wake you up?"

Tang Cen rubbed his eyes and yawned long: "No, do you want to go out?"

"There is something wrong with the company. I've been urging for several days. If I don't go to Raymond, I will call and scold me." Eisen took his hand, rubbing the three sunken palm lines with his fingertips.The word "Chuan" in Tang Cen's palm is intermittent and not coherent, but it is still complete.

Eisen didn't tell Tang Cen what the "something" was about, and Tang Cen was also used to not interfering with Eisen's work, even though Eisen would always mention something to him.But as soon as he came back, he was in a hurry to go to the company. Tang Cen also knew that it must be a very important matter.

Recalling the phone call that Eisen answered in the hotel, Tang Cen raised his hand to help him straighten his tie, and smoothed away the slight wrinkles on the dark blue suit: "Then go quickly."

As Tang Cen spoke, he yawned and burrowed into the depths of the bed, and said something vaguely, Eisen sounded like "I'll sleep a little longer".

Eisen knew Tang Cen's schedule, so he didn't bother him anymore, left a note and went to the company.

Although Eisen didn't tell Tang Cen about the company at that time, he had been working overtime for several days since that day, and Tang Cen had vaguely noticed it.He didn't bother Eisen, and continued to take on some odd translation tasks to pass the time, and his travel plans were also put on hold as Eisen worked overtime, but the days were still considered peaceful.

Both Tang Cen and Eisen thought that even if this matter was difficult, it could be resolved quickly, but it was not completely resolved until the end of October.

"Ah—" As soon as he came back from overtime work, Eisen threw himself into the sofa, wrapped his arms around Tang Cen's waist, and wailed while hugging him.

Tang Cen was holding the tablet to read the manuscript sent by the publishing house, but was interrupted by Eisen and had to put down what he was doing.He rubbed Eisen's furry head: "What's wrong?"

"It's the project I was working with before. There has been a problem with the partner that hasn't been resolved. Raymond asked me to go back and deal with it." Eisen lay on Tang Cen's lap and let him rub his hair, and couldn't help but whisper Broken Nian said, "I don't want to go back."

Tang Cen's hand rubbing his hair paused for a moment, and then gently placed it on the other knee.He hesitated for a while before asking in a low voice, "Going back...to London?"

Eisen let out a "hmm", turned over and lay on Tang Cen's lap, completely ignoring the wrinkled suit on his body.

"How long will it be?" Tang Cen lowered his head and looked at the man lying on his lap.

Tang Cen's overly long hair fell before Eisen's eyes as he lowered his head. He raised his hand to hook the slightly curly hair, and said with some regret: "It may take half a month, and I can't celebrate your birthday with you." .”

"It's okay, I can make it up later." Tang Cen actually didn't have the habit of celebrating birthdays, and he had already received the best birthday present.But Eisen said so, and he didn't mind repeating it.
